Hit-and-run suspect sought in Vacaville

Vacaville police are seeking the public's help to track down a driver involved in a hit-and-run accident Wednesday afternoon on Leisure Town Road that involved three other vehicles.

Officers responded to a report of a collision around 2:07 p.m. on Leisure Town Road just south of Ulatis Drive, according to the Vacaville Police Department.

Officers arrived to find three vehicles, but were quickly informed that a fourth vehicle, believed to have been responsible for the traffic tangle, had fled from the scene, authorities said.

Witnesses told officers a Toyota Sienna was traveling south on Leisure Town with a Toyota Camry trailing behind it. The Camry was suddenly hit from behind by an unknown vehicle, pushing it into the Sienna.

The impact from the responsible vehicle reportedly spun the Camry 360 degrees and over into the path of northbound traffic, where it collided head-on with a Jeep Wrangler.

The driver of the Sienna lost control of the vehicle, which left the roadway before slamming into a sound wall on the west side of the road, police said.

Officials said the driver of the responsible vehicle then sped away in an unknown direction.

Medics were called to the scene and both the driver and passenger of the Camry were taken to a local hospital with complaints of pain, police reported.

Neither of the other drivers were injured.

A section of Leisure Town Road between Ulatis Drive and Zephyr Lane was closed for about an hour while officers conducted their investigation and worked to clear the roadway. During their investigation, authorities said additional evidence at the scene validated witnesses' claims that a fourth vehicle was involved and caused the accident.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Officer Rod Neal at 449-5282.
